Description:
------------
Hello,

I have a problem with the garbage collector which I cannot reproduce with a simple code. In brief, my script creates multiple objects (for 256M it is ~10k) based on a piece of data, binds them together and removes them (unset & null) if there is not enough memory available. Once the memory is cleaned up, it takes another portion of the data and does so until it reaches the data limit. The following stack trace is from the old version (7.0.11) but the problem also appears on the current version:

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.
